On World Family Doctor's Day, I emphasize that family health will be one of the axes of our emergency program. We will value healthcare professionals and with them provide answers to citizens
"At most, within two weeks, the country will know the emergency program we have for health. It will have an impact on the recovery of waiting times for surgeries, in particular the most problematic ones - for example, oncological ones. It will have a special focus on obstetrics and a family medicine response plan for about 1.5 million Portuguese people without a family doctor," he specified.
The group of 13 people who are preparing this plan is coordinated by the former president of Infarmed Eurico Castro Alves, who has a degree in Medicine from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and a doctorate in Medicine from ICBAS - Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences.
